A New Year's jinx, trailing the
Milwaukee's Agawam train out 'of
Great Falls-Monday morning, caught
up with its prey three miles this
side of Fairfield, and sent the frojjt
trucks oi' the engine pounding ;ij*:.S*r

thereabouts resulted, which Sol'"the

the chagrin of local nevyshounds
who cooled their heels as patiently
as might be on the station platform,
cursing the fate! that deprived them
of the Sunday and Tvl-p-jday dailies,
which, according to »• c " **"/, should
be read before lunch time.
When the engine ^trucks left their
proper position on the rails, an axle
was sprung in such a manner that
progress could be made to the rear
but not forward. The engine, thereupon, was backed into Great Falls
and exchanged for another, which
brought in the coaches, left at Fairfield, and completed the trip to Agawam and back to Great Fails the
same evening, without further mishap.
